OOC: The Two 'Dead' Astronauts? When the Shuttle crashed two of the six died.

OOC: I'm sorry. I'm just not following what you're getting at. Could you stop and explain what you mean rather than subtly hinting and waiting for me to figure it out.

[The Greater Nordic Federation]

OOC: Yes, militarily the Alorixians consider Americans lightweights. And somewhat politically as well.

"Nice, got a whole continent to yourselves now." He chuckled."Anyway, We are from Alorixia, of Eros.(Fun Fact:Alorixians were originally on earth before moving to planet Eros in early 2014.)
"I am Seamus, that's Derron, Isabelle, Ryan, Devin, Ivan, Perri, Andre, Aleksey, and Comotos." The other nine Ares units waved or nodded. Three of them being female."We're here because of the odd burst of activity on this island. Came to check it out."

Allen rubbed the back of his neck,"Well, our shuttle", he actioned to the wreckage,"was reentering the atmosphere normally, but then something went terribly wrong and the Shuttle started to break, the Reactor (this a NUCLEAR reactor) went critical we aborted and it blew up as we came falling like a brick to crash at Apollo Island, here. Two of crew were killed in the crash. Leonardo, and Capone." right then the remnant of the Reactor crashed in the sea about 20 meters away.

OOC: Your Welcome

OOC: I don't know if you're doing this intentionally, but it's getting really annoying just explain what you are talking about like this:

You: "The two people that died in the crash will still be alive and they will wake up in the shuttle unsure of what's going on. Meanwhile, we will do the thing with Eagle crashing as well."

Don't do this:

You: "Do you remember Davinci."
Me: "What do you mean?"
You: "Did he die, did he live? Something about a martian novel."
Me: "What are you talking about?"
You: "Two 'dead' astronauts."
Me: "Could you explain this more clearly?"
You: "[quote mentioning the two astronauts died]"

The walls were finally up and all defenses in position. Tall wooden towers with a machine gun in each over looked the area outside the wall. Two machine gun nests made from sand bag walls stood out side of the gate entrance of the wall. The Engineers have managed to repair most of the Drop Ship so that it could make it off the ground and back into space despite that some of it was still damaged. They were planning on getting the ship off the island so that it could get all the repairs it needed in a safer location.

EveryPony cleared the area as the Drop Ship attempts to lift off the ground. It slowly lifts it self into the air and finally flies off towards the Cruiser while a unicorn on board bends the light around it to make invisible.. Cosmic Dust walks out of the cave to watch the ship depart from the planet and then turned to watch all the progress that was taking place. "With the ship gone things should be a lot easier for us now. All we need to do is get the Warp Gate up and running and we won't need any ships for awhile. We can just ferry supplies through the Gate." Sure Shot Shot walks up to Cosmic Dust and asks, "So what is the plan?"

Cosmic Dust pulls out a Pony Pad and looks at the map on the GPS and thinks for a moment. She suddenly gets an idea and says, "We could try going tribal!" Sure Shot raises an eyebrow and says, "Go tribal?" The Princess nods and says, "Yes, tribal. Hear me out on this. By going tribal for a while, we can blend in and live off the forest. The idea is for us to try and not to attract anymore attention. See, with the Drop Ship gone, it won't make our position seem so obvious. And if we close off the cave to hide everything inside, people will think we belong to this island and not see us as a threat."

Sure Shot thought for a moment until she finally understood. "Oh I get it. We can take on the roll of common island villagers and that way we can continue exploring this island without any of the other nations seeing us as a problem or anything." With that being said, everypony quickly began removing most of their clothing and started to make themselves look more tribal like. All high-tech items were placed into the cave to be hidden and a large wall with a door was made to cover the cave entrance, making it look like a private area.

[Congreveopia]

Leighton climbed in, and the rear ramp shut. Eagle took off and quickly flew up to Fortress. The view would have been impressive, except everyone had to watch it through the low-rez cameras on the outer hull. Eagle was noisy, but the headphones canceled most of that out, allowing everyone to talk normally.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for flying Platinum Soldiers airlines.” said Leighton, improvising a quick speech “We are now beginning our accent to Fortress. Firstly a few safety reminders from our marksman John.”

“Um, thank you, squad leader Leighton.” said John. “Please fasten your seatbelts, and remain seated throughout the flight. Smoking is not allowed, except for the jet engines when they are on fire. This aircraft has three exits, one in the cockpit, one door on the left there, and the rear ramp. In the event of a need for a rapid evacuation, these exits will jam and trap everyone inside. At the slightest sign of any danger whatsoever, our pilot will eject and abandon us all to a fiery grave. Finally in the event of a water landing, our deaths will be extra slow and horrible as we all drown. Now over to drone specialist Charles for a brief history of Fortress.”

“What? Fortress? History?” said Charles “Okay, yeah. We are now flying towards Fortress. Fortress is the largest plane in Congreveopia, although its sister ship, Guardian, outweighs it. The original Fortress was built almost a decade ago, but we are now flying towards the third generation sub two of the Fortress design. Generations occur every time Fortress is shot down, and sub-generations every time it undergoes a major overhaul or repair. That means that Fortress has been shot down twice in its history: once by Qubec’s SAM sites during the second Qubec insurgency, and once by an ash storm from the south-Asydinan supervolcano following a meteor impact, and since that last crash it has been overhauled twice. Now here’s Thomas with some interesting facts about Eagle.”

Thomas turned around, evidently ready to be called. “The vehicle you are currently on is called Eagle.” he said “Eagle and Dragon, both of which launch from Fortress, are the only two licenced aircraft in Congreveopia to have no capability for unpowered flight. Airplanes can glide, and helicopters can autorotate, but Eagle and Dragon rely on their jet-engines for lift, meaning that if they fail, they will simply fall out of the sky.”

“Ix-nay on the all-fay.” whispered Leighton.

“Oh, okay.” said Thomas. “Anyways, for that reason the engines are designed to be incredibly redundant. It appears that Eagle is currently flying with four engines, but in fact it actually has six, two for emergences. With these six engines, and a clever way to divert power from one engine to another, Eagle can fly with two engines destroyed, and can manage a controlled descent with only three engines. In the event that more than three engines are taken offline, Eagle has eight rocket motors that will give the pilot thirty seconds of control post engine failure. If Eagle doesn’t land in those thirty seconds, and is at a high enough altitude to kill the occupants when in crashes, four parachutes will deploy just before impact. Now back to Leighton with information on the inflight movies.”

“Thank you, Thomas.” said Leighton “As you can see, Eagle is equipped with video screens showing the view through various cameras on the hull. For example, on this one, you can see a whole bunch of night. This one too offers dark as far as the eye can see, and if I’m not mistaken, this one is also showing a great big lump of black. These things do have a night-vision mode, but none of us read the manu-”

He was cut off by a loud explosion. For an instant, a blinding light filled the cabin, and then all the lights went out. A faint breeze of cool air blew through the cabin.

“Heavy damage!” yelled the pilot “Piercing lance shape! Fore-right and mid-left engines are down! Primary electrical system failure! Secondary electrical system failure! Backup electrical system failure! Battery backup power system failure! EMP-proof emergency electrical system active! Whatever hit us was moving at near-light speed! EEVACS only detected it a few deci-microseconds before impact! I’m going to try to get us to Fortress!”

“You aren’t meant to concatenate metric prefixes.” thought Charles. “He should express that as hundreds of nanoseconds.”

Leighton broke a glow stick. A dim yellow light filled the cabin. Nobody spoke. Two holes were visible in the walls, each about three inches wide. John pulled out another glow-stick, and the yellow light brightened. The headsets had stopped actively noise-canceling, but they still did pretty good passive noise-canceling.

Another explosion occurred. Blinding light filled the cabin for an instant again. There were now four holes.

“Okay!” yelled the pilot “Both aft-engines are down! I’m going to fall to low-altitude and then gently set her down with the rockets!”

The gunner, sitting in the cabin at his console slumped over. Thomas broke a glow stick and checked him for wounds.

“Hit in the first shot.” said Thomas to the rest of the squad. “Alive, but he needs to be back on Fortress inside of ten minutes or they won’t be able to save him.”

Light flashed through the four holes in the hull from a shot passing by outside.

“Ha!” yelled the pilot “Two shots, and EEVACS has your algorithm figured out, mister light-speed AA gun!”

Everyone continued waiting in silence. Charles was mouthing a countdown to the next shot. Evidently they were occurring at even intervals.

Another explosion, but no blinding light except from the four holes in the hull, and the window in the door to the cockpit.

“Pilot has bailed out.” said Eagle’s onboard speakers. “Transferring flight control to Nexus.”

“Hello everyone.” said Nexus “Sorry I don’t have time to introduce myself, but that AA gun evidently modeled EEVACS’s evasion program from the data gathered in three shots and then almost sniped your pilot. I’m going to try randomly creating an evasive pattern on the fly to try to confuse it.”

Everyone waited again.

“It’s overdue.” said Charles.

“It’s trying to figure out my pattern-generator.” said Nexus “Fortunately, I’m randomising the algorithm I choose to randomly select a system to randomly determine which of the randomly-generated evasive patterns I use. I am quite confident that the AA gun will have no way to figure out what my next mov-”

An explosion and a burst of light, again.

“High-speed data uplink destroyed.” said Eagle’s onboard speakers “Switching to automatic emergency landing software.”

“No!” said Charles “It’ll instantly figure that ou-”

He was cut off by the parachutes opening, briefly subjecting everyone to six gs of force, and then Eagle crashing through several trees into the forest.

“Or we might be lower than I thought.” said Charles.

“Astronauts, stay inside.” said Leighton. “Alpha force, secure the crash site.”

The four Platinum Soldiers climbed out of Eagle and flipped over to IR vision. Charles pulled a hexrotor drone out of a compartment on Eagle and tossed it into the air. It and the four soldiers nervously watched the trees all around them, waiting to see what would happen next.

“Hello?” said the radio in the cockpit, to quietly for the soldiers outside to hear “Hello? This is Fortress, we lost contact with you. What happened? Hello?”

[Alorixia]

OOC: I need human interaction.

The USS Titus began releasing Paladin and White ops troops, the Paladin Divisions lead by Gabriel Adonis. Each of the 49 groups of 10 were sent down onto the island from the Titus, in multiple Manta Heavy Dropships, all landing on seperate parts of the island, the main force landing on the smaller island Southwest of Camp Iron Hoof.
However, Gabriel Manta somehow had a hill breach and broke apart upon entering the atmosphere. Gabriel falling down toward the island at high speeds. His landing destination unknown for now.

(At this time, he can land at any place :0 so like. Who wants to be apart of this magic.)

[Republic of Hasgriu]

OOC: Lt. Dremegden is on the east coast, not too far north from Camp Iron Hoof.
Dremegden and his squad finished the camp. A few hammocks and some dry wood in a corner for a fire, just in case. Grabbing a REC-7 and a few magazines, he sets off with the rest of the team to explore.

Namian Warrior

The warrior narrowed her eyes on the person talking to her "Of course I can! But stay back!" She yelled once again, holding the scalpel towards him. They seemed like they were reasonable people but in her mind, they were demons and couldn't be trusted. For all she knows, they could get her comfortable and then kill her whilst her guard was down. Even though that isn't what was about to happen, in her mind it was.

Eldritch Avatar of Adventure

The avatar sighed "Primitives" He thought to himself before he began to speak "There is a bubble worm hole above the island separated by time rather than space. Simply going past the event horizon has sent you back in time and you haven't even noticed. Right now though, it is best you stay away from the beacon. A relic will have appeared of great magical and technological power with an influence that will corrupt all but the chosen. Oh and there are probably some demi-god like beings guarding it so it's basically a siren drawing you to your doom" The Alien chuckled at the thought, given he was the Eldritch Avatar of Adventure, he's used to all this imminent doom type thing.

Eldritch Corvette

The ship that shot down Eagle stopped firing upon seeing it crash to the island "Yes. Target destroyed, now, someone find me that Heretic Avatar! I want his head on a pike for going against the will of Vorvadoss!" The captain of the ship yelled before the others nodded and began typing on their terminals. The ship remained in the upper atmosphere and cloaked it's self so nobody would look up and see a 160 foot long space ship floating above the island.

Base Camp, Namian Shore

Dr. Schmidt put his hands up and backed up. "Ma'am, we wish no harm to you nor your people." He stole a glance at Dr. Brown, who was nowhere to be found. She had ran out of the tent. Dr. Schmidt turned back to the native and awaited the Namian's response.

[Arcanium of Mars]

The Warp Gate's frame was finally finished and ready to be powered up. Cosmic Dust, Sure Shot, and Light Bearer gathered in front of the Gate and gazed upon it for a while. "The Gate is finally finished. All we have to do now is power it up with our magic once it has been aligned with these magically enchanted gems." They each placed a set of unique gems that are designed to hold magic for a long time into the Gate's gem Sockets. Once all the gems were in place they began to focus their magic on the gems and Gate. Their horns started to glow brightly as they charged up their magic.

In a matter of minutes the Gate began to give off a dim glow that started to get brighter and brighter. The gems lit up as the magic was absorbed by them. The Gate started to glow brightly as a purple/pink colored warp hole like portal formed in the center and expanded till it touched the frame. The Warp Gate was finally at full power and the portal was ready to be used. "Ah ha, the Gate is now open. We are free to come and go at any time. And with this Gate we can bring in extra supplies from Mars only if we need them. Since we are pretending to be a tribe of this island we should try to live off the resources we find here for a while, so we don't raise any suspicion,"

Light Bearer Grunted and placed a hoof on her head."Ugh, my head. It's like all of a sudden I was impacted by something heavy." Cosmic Dust and Sure Shot turned to look at the Grand Mistress to see what had happened. "It's like a strange surge of energy just went through me. Ever since I found that beacon I have been finding out all kinds of things about this island. I was able to see it's past and present, as well as a piece of the future... And now I am finding out more." The Grand Mistress reaches for her Codex that was glowing rather brightly. Sure enough, right there on the pages was further information of the strange magic. "According to the Codex, this strange Ancient Magic was created by an unknown race. The beam, like the one we saw, is created by placing an artifact over a flame and it will cause a beacon to form. But not just any beacon... It has the ability to worm hole around the entire planet, and anyone who travels through it, is sent back into the planet's past."

Cosmic Dust walked over to Light Bearer to look at the book for herself and said, "So you are saying that we just went back in time?" Light Bearer nodded and said, "Yes, it seems we have traveled into Earths past. Ironically if we were to leave through the worm hole we would be back in our own time but at a great cost. Luckily we have the Warp Gate active. Which has allowed us to punch a large hole through the Beacon's spell." "So what are we supposed to do?", asked Sure Shot. Light Bearer walked out of the cave and looked up to the sky and then towards the direction that the Beacon was located. "We will just have to wait and see what happens next before we act. But we what we need to do is take down the Beacon so that we can free this planet from it's curse."

[Llamaopia]

"Wow," Sullivan said.

"Do you realize what leaps in science and technology this could grant?" He said to Sure Shot.

"There are so many things to try. We could have infinite power, advanced manufacturing!"

"Is there a way of making two local warp gates like this?"

OOC: Yeah, you've been fairly consistently active, but the storyline between our nations kinda died when we both decided to not kill each other. It's probably going to pick back up when my president arrives, but I don't have supersonic fighters to travel in like your leader does.

First Destroyer
As the helicopters flew closer to the destroyer everyone inside can see all the people and things fused to the ship. "My gods what are those things?" said someone in the same Helicopter that Peter was in. "Most likely being that live between the boundaries of our reality and that of others. My guess is that the same effect that causes human flesh to fuse to the ship can also effect their bodies as well." The helicopters manage to land on a landing deck on the destroyer. As they all walk on the destroyer they take care on not to step on any of the bodies, as they walked they realize that the floor is covered in a clear slime with at times small sound coming from the slime whenever someone steps on it. Opening the door to enter the ship was hard due to it being covered by the clear slime which was now acting as glue to keep it in place. Eventually someone took out a blowtorch and after many minutes was able to get rid of the slime and opened the door. What they found was equal parts horrify and disgusting. Man and woman fused to the ship like those outside but now they found that some where torn to bits, spraying gore all over the halls. Others were reduced into what can be best described as half gelatinous mess on the floor, others twisted in ways that defy the human anatomy, other that look as though they were close to be grotesque monsters before someone or something killed them. "My god we stepped into hell." said a member of the group. Everyone noticed that the ships was strangely humid inside and somehow felt wet, in fact some could have sworn to hear the faint sounds of a heart beating somewhere in the ship. Some members decide to stay outside and conduct research on the bodies outside and near the entrance and exit, while the other half lead by Peter Solomon venture deeper into the ship.

Second Destroyer
The second destroyer had a different reaction to those who went after it. Many found it eerie that it was still going even though there was no sign of the crew anywhere. As they land they noted that other than their own breathing, footsteps, and the sounds of equipment moving around, and the sea there was no other noise, not even bird calls. Opening the door was a easier affair with this ship than it's sister but as most went in not only was the ship dark but was strangely cold, cold enough that most saw their own breath. Many turning on their flashlights venture further and as they did one member nearly tripped by something, curious as to what he pointed his flashlight to the object and let out a horrible scream. Down on the floor was a human corpse, the arms out stretched and the face contorted to a look of absolute terror. Soon they found other members of the crew in similar conditions, even a dog had suffered the same fate. As like the other the groups split into two, one that stays behind to research what's there and the other to venture deeper into the ship.

Drone Leo
The drone continue on it's marry flight uninterrupted, it was able to gather a few interesting events but it didn't stay long enough so the drone just goes off flying to were ever it wants to go.

[Republic of Hasgriu]

OOC: Is the middle of the east coast far enough? It won't really matter much now as Dremengden has moved.
After some fruitless exploration, the group decide to go hunting and bring back a deer. They happily eat the venison over the terrible tasting vitamin nutrient formula that is standard issue in the Hasgrian Army. They decide to move the patrol boat to the other side of the island, where the light was seen next thing in the morning.
